I'm not going to speak on the content of the product itself, as many other reviewers have done some with great detail. I'm more concerned my first (of two) purchases of this product, which appears to be counterfeit.

A list of things to watch out for when buying:

-The exterior blue where it says Blu Ray on the outside was the wrong tone, and did not also say Digital HD, vs the real copy which did.-The slipcase artwork paper shows color banding and indicates it is a reprint, not the original printer quality.-The inner guide booklet is clearly reprinted - the words are muddier and less clear - and on cheaper paper.-The inner paperwork did not include the ultraviolet paperwork, or any other HBO or George R. R. Martin merchandise insets.-The clear disc cases don't match the other seasons - rounded corners, the Blu Ray logo is in the wrong place, etc.-The discs themselves have muddy or hard to read and misaligned print on them. The reflective cutouts of the letters don't match the printed letters.-The discs are clearly burned discs - you can see the circle of burned data and area of blank data on the disc. Real discs show all silver on the bottom and are pressed, not burned.-The actual content on the discs is shrunk - an episode (pull it up with a tool on the PC) is normally 10-14 GB. Episodes 9 & 10 of my fake were 6-7 GB each.-The fake Blu Rays did not include either any AACS protection or lower than it should be - the licensed proprietary digital encryption of the Blu Rays. Season 3 was AACS 42, Season 4 was AACS 50, and Season 5 on the proper copy is AACS 57. The fake was not AACS 57.

Please watch out for third party sellers. They themselves may not even know their product is fake. My vendor has a 100% satisfactory rating, and the product is new as of this posting, so likely whoever sold it to him is the one at fault, but I can't say for certain. I am returning that copy after I take comparative photos of the two sets, and my second one came directly from Amazon, 100% fine.

Look, if you don't know what Game of Thrones is, then you probably wouldn't be reading this, and if you do know what Game of Thrones is, then this review will not change your view of the show. That being said this is perhaps one of the richest, most complex, deeply thought out and intricate television series/movies/book series EVER!

It almost requires a notebook and a syllabus to follow along all the storylines, intrigue, and characters. The story's are separate yet intertwined over time and distance and the folklore created for this show is similar yet so far beyond Tolkien and Arthurian legends. When you think you've gotten a handle on the this show, the show constantly throws curve balls at you.

I'm writing this on a Wednesday. Four days from now episode 9 of the current season will air. This is the episode where dramatic things typically take place and I cant wait.. Its been a long time since I've been this excited and nervous about a show or series or movie.

IF you actually haven't seen this series.. YOU HAVE TO GOT WATCH IT.... Period.. Join in the fun!

While Season 5 had many drawbacks in its writing and execution... i.e. Dorne... the Extras on this DVD set are phenomenal. The Dance of the Dragons is amazing, and I also listened to all the commentary for each episode. All pretty good, with the exception of some of the actor commentary. Though Natalie Dormer is rather good. As a collector of all the GoT past seasons Dvds, I was very pleased with this purchase.

The multiple layers of packaging are as beautiful as they are tedious to remove constantly. The discs come in a multiple page foldout that is folded and slid into a box that is then covered by the semi-transparent plastic sleeve. Rather laborious process to pull out a disc just to drop it in a bluray player.

The quality of the menus and episodes and special features are what you can expect if you've bought previous seasons (very good).

Game of thrones is an absolute must-have for my collection when it comes out on dvd/blu-ray every year. By far the best tv series I have ever watched. As soon as the new season is released, I have a game of thrones marathon starting from the beginning, and watching them all the way through. Absolutely recommend to anyone who has not seen it.

Okay....I don't know how it happened, but I become a GOT fanatic..... what started out as being supportive of my husband who was already a GOT fanatic, has become a near obsession.... when our daughter gave him Season 6 and we were clueless into episode 3.... Only to realize we hadn't watched Season 5, which was nowhere to be found....Except Amazon...We awaited anxiously for it to arrive and it didn't disappoint!
